Today, Uncle Che brought you two small SUVs that understand the minds of young people, they are MG ZS and Chery Tiggo 5x.
The 2020 MG ZS was launched in October 2019, and the price range of the car is 78,800 to 122,800 yuan. The 2021 Chery Tiggo 5x was launched in August last year, and the price range of the new car is 78,900 to 98,900 yuan. Next, Uncle Che will focus on selecting the guidance price of 95,800 yuan MG ZS automatic Life and the guidance price of 93,900 yuan Chery Tiggo 5x SuperHero Edition CVT luxury model for comparison, the price gap between the two is not large, so under such a premise, which model of the product is more prominent? Let's take a look.
Exterior design
The MG ZS has a certain degree of change in appearance design compared to the 2019 model, in which the front part of the new model is equipped with a flat hexagonal middle mesh, and the interior is filled with honeycomb trim. The design of the left and right side headlight groups is sharper, the line-like light strip is located in the upper part of the light group, the bottom fog light is a halogen light source, the border and the trim panel as an embellishment, the visual effect of the whole vehicle has a strong offensiveness.
Tiggo 5x has a sporty overall styling design, in which the front face of the car is equipped with a polygonal grille, with a dot matrix mesh inside, and the circular trim is gradually enlarged from top to bottom, with good visual tension. In addition, the headlight group is closely connected to the grille to create an integrated design, with double-layerED LED daytime running lights on both sides, which significantly enhances the momentum of the front face.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of mg ZS are 4325×1809×1653 mm, and the wheelbase is 2585 mm. The side lines of the new model are relatively rich, starting from the front fenders and extending to the rear door tail, the second folding line of the rear half extends to the rear, and there is a third folding line under the door, creating a rather three-dimensional shape.
The specific length, width and height of the Tiggo 5x are 4358×1830×1670 mm, and the wheelbase is 2630mm, which is a certain degree of leading in all data. The side of the body of this model adopts a double waistline design, and there is a clear concave shape under the door, which is combined with the slightly protruding fenders on the front and rear to create a more dynamic visual effect.
The tail shape of MG ZS has a strong echo with the front part of the face, and the sharp lines make the entire tail more youthful, of which the light groups on both sides of the tail are more rounded, and the middle is connected by a ridge. The bilateral double exhaust pipes in the rear encirclement only play a decorative role, and the fog lamp frame is also decorated with trim panels like the front face, which presents a good visual effect.
The rear of the Tiggo 5x is equipped with a small spoiler, and the C-shaped taillight groups on both sides are blackened, connected by bright-colored trim strips in the middle, and the trim strips extend all the way to the inside of the light set. In addition, the rear bracket of the new car adopts a double-layer two-color style, and the exhaust air from the bilateral double is integrated into the rear skid plate, which greatly improves the overall sense.
Interior design
MG ZS has not made much adjustment in the interior design, but the details have changed, which is more in line with the preferences of today's young consumers. Among them, the three-frame steering wheel directly in front of the new owner has a slight flat bottom shape, the inner ring of the disc body adopts bright colored stitching, and the function buttons on the left and right sides are tight, and the grip is relatively full. The size of the central control display screen is 10.1 inches, and the internal functions are more comprehensive, supporting Bluetooth car phones, mobile phone interconnection mapping, voice recognition control, etc.
The Tiggo 5x is highly consistent with the Tiggo 7 in terms of interior design, and the texture is excellent above the center console and the inside of the door panel using a large area of soft material, and the details are complemented by bright stitching and trim as embellishments. The 10.25-inch display screen above the center console has a built-in Lion Wisdom Cloud system, which can provide real-time online interconnection services, vehicle remote information management, appointment repair/maintenance and other functions. In addition, the control panel at the bottom of the console of the new car looks quite tall, but after turning the air volume or temperature knob, it must be operated according to the air conditioning interface displayed on the central control screen, which will be more awkward when first used.
The interior seats of the MG ZS are wrapped in imitation leather fabric and only support manual adjustment in terms of functionality. The front seats in this model can leave a good impression, the color matching and styling are more sporty, the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, and it is more comfortable to sit.
The Tiggo 5x interior seats are wrapped in imitation leather fabric and functionally identical to mg ZS. The front seats of the new model are relatively wide, and the wings on both sides of the backrest and cushion are obviously prominent, which is very good in terms of wrapping and shoulder support.
The rear seats in the MG ZS car maintain the same level as the front row in terms of material application and workmanship, and the leg space in the center of the rear row is large, but the bulge of the platform is very obvious, in addition, the height of the rear seat cushion is relatively general, and the middle position is not suitable for riding.
The rear seats in the Tiggo 5x are equipped with independent headrests that can be lifted and lowered, with a certain degree of invertedness on both sides, and the central bulge of the platform is almost negligible. In addition, the rear seat backrest of the new car supports a 4:6 reclining ratio, but the flatness of the trunk after being reclined is not ideal.

The MG ZS is powered by a 1.5L engine with a maximum output of 120 hp and a peak torque of 150 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, it is matched by the CVT stepless gearbox.
The Tiggo 5x is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 156 hp and a peak torque of 230 Nm, giving it a significant lead in performance. In terms of drivetrain, the engine is matched by a simulated 9-speed CVT continuously variable transmission.
Uncle Che summed up
As a hot model in the field of small domestic SUVs, MG ZS and Tiggo 5x both have internal and external designs and good product strength that are more in line with young people's preferences. Through the comparison of the same price of the above two models, we can see that there is still a certain gap between them, of which the Tiggo 5x has a larger external size than the MG ZS, more excellent power performance and more comprehensive functional configuration, the cost performance of the whole vehicle is higher, so in this round of showdown, the car uncle is more recommended is the Tiggo 5x.
